Plain Lines

Plain is not easy
Timely lines sketch air
Plain can feel feisty
Verse in matching flair


Simple is easy
If beauty crafts fit
Just write more truly
Where truth tints wit


Joy wears a sleek style
As rhymes churn motifs
Touch knows a grand smile
In  language active


Just sit and write well
As words encrypt space
Watch as your soul dwells
On plain lines you place


A certain despair
Channels that sad fate
Muster thus word flair
To dazzle not late
